Geforce Fx Presentation Video

DOOManiac

<div class="IPBDescription">good watch</div>I just got done watching the <a href='http://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?playerheight=533&playerwidth=785&sourcepage=null&eventid=1179&sessionid=1&username=&partnerref=&contenttype=&format=&key=8818A278CD4B677B742470856670B9CB' target='_blank'>GeForce FX Unveiling Presentation video</a>. Its a great watch if you're interested in the technology and have an hour and a half to kill. Yes it is that long of a presentation heh.

Shows some great stuff. Also tells where they got the name GeForce FX: Part of the technology actually started with the 3Dfx team... I guess that explains the big big fan, only the wackos at 3Dfx would think of something so cheesy. :P

I hope we get games that look as good as that video of the dancing ogre thing. I doubt well have games that look like that for a while (doom 3 might look that good but its hard to tell from the size of that video)

hype!!!! hype!!!!

The Dawn techdemo is awesome looking. Plus a pic of the Unreal2 engine posted somewhere.

Anyone else really looking forward to Deus Ex 2?

deus ex 2 along with thief 3 are two games i am REALLY looking for to in the future. speaking of thief 3, there's a rumour going around that this GeForce FX powered picture:

...which was posted on gamespot yesterday is a picture of thief 3. apparently, when the news post ( <a href='http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2898008,00.html' target='_blank'>http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/...2898008,00.html</a> ) went up gamespot had to later edit it since they actually stated that it looked like a picture of thief 3. a better explanation of what im trying to erm explain (and the part of the gamespot news story that was edited out) can be found here:

needless to say though that i know which graphics card i'll be buying soon...that is, unless ati hasn't got anything up their sleeves. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

The comparison between the FX and the 9700 is pretty impressive. If they keep leapfrogging cards in the future, maybe lower prices for us consumers. ATI will undoubtedly take a hard hit though, since their falling out with id.

I don't have bloody 400USD to spend on a Geforce 4! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

ati had a falling out with id?

this is the first i've heard...what happened?

DOOManiac

Injury is basing his assumption on a <u>rumor</u> that it was ATI who leaked DOOM 3. There is no evidence (read: facts, not gossip and probably faked logs) that ATI did anything.

But it wouldn't suprise me if they did :P

But regardless, id is not going to screw over all their customers because of something stuid that the hardware company did.

Injury

Its all over slashdot! Well, its still unsubstantiated, but from what I've been scrounging it may have some sort of effect on ATI. I wouldn't be surprised if they do take that hard hit I still am predicting. Not from id, but from the consumers I meant in the first post.

By the way, Doom 3 is very, very fun.

There's no proof ATi did it, but their name has been soiled anyway. Can't wait for GeForce FX to hit shelves, I'm buying it even if it is $400. I'll just sell my nvidia stock to pay for it. :\

DOOManiac

you got nVidia stock? lucky guy :P

and Injury, just cause something is all over /. doesn't make it true. I mean all those guys think Linux is superior too! :P j/k
/me runs

But really ATI has a longstanding history of screwing up. I believe that while the 9700 is a great product, it is more of a fluke than a fresh start. I bet in 3 or 4 months their new "driver initiative" goes back to the old way of updating drivers.. never.

P.S. I still hate ATI cause they still haven't made good drivers for their TV card on XP. idiots.

Injury

Yes, I haven't ever owned an ATi card because their driver dedication is just.. well, you know. The 9700 has impressive benchmarks from an unbiased (stop laughing) standpoint, but there is no doubt the FX will blow it away. I'm a nvidia guy myself and hopefully the prices won't blow me away.

By the way..

[Edit]I know it doesn't, dilapidated attempts at humor usually fail on boards it seems!

Dracos

Everyone seems to think its ATI. Really the only info that points to them is that the alpha is dated to the date when ATI had it. Dunno how you get this date since i dont have the alpha but that little bit of info is what started all that rumors and such.
